Calvin Ridley Sees 10 Targets
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley recorded seven receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's loss to Tampa. Ridley once again was a major factor for the Falcons and performed better in the most important statistical categories in Week 2 compared to Week 1. He also paced the team in […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis finished with nine carries for 38 yards and seven receptions for 25 yards on seven targets in Sunday's loss to the Bucs. Despite being the RB1 on Atlanta, Davis has put up less than impressive numbers in two games. He finished with 49 and 38 rushing yards and 23 […]

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan went 35-for-46 for 300 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions in Sunday's blowout loss to Tampa. Ryan notably threw two pick-sixes in the game. The 36-year-old has not started out the season great as he only threw for 164 yards in a blowout loss to the Eagles last week and […]

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez went 2-for-3 in field goals and 2-for-3 in extra points in Sunday's win over the Saints. Gonzalez played his first game with the Panthers on Sunday after joining the team just this week. The kicker started off decent, but those misses could be a slight cause for concern. Going forward, […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoDan Arnold Goes For 55 Yards
Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold finished with three receptions for 55 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over the Saints. The new member of the Panthers started off his tenure with the team in a bad way, as he only managed two receptions for six yards on three targets in Week 1. While […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoBrandon Zylstra Records Touchdown
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Brandon Zylstra finished with three receptions for 44 yards and a score on three targets in Sunday's win over New Orleans. The fourth-year player made his first receptions of the year on Sunday though he wasn't much of a factor last year with the Panthers as he finished with three receptions […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoRobby Anderson Manages 38 Yards
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson finished with three receptions for 38 yards on six targets in Sunday's win over the Saints. Though Anderson saw double the amount of targets in Week 2 than in Week 1, he finished with fewer receiving yards against the Saints (he had 57 yards in Week 1). The Temple […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore finished with eight receptions for 79 yards and a score on 11 targets in Sunday's win over the Saints. He led the team in receptions, yards, and targets in Week 2. Moore once again shined after putting up six receptions for 80 yards last week. The 24-year-old is the […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoChristian McCaffrey Has Rushing Touchdown In Win
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey amassed 24 rushes for 72 yards and a score along with five receptions for 65 yards on six targets in Sunday's victory over New Orleans. As expected, McCaffrey played a factor in the both rushing and passing game. The back now has put up two solid performances in a […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoSam Darnold Tosses For 305 Yards
Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold went 26-for-38 for 305 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's win over the Saints. Darnold once again put up a stellar performance and has played quite well in two games with Carolina this season. The QB has played generally turnover-free ball and has quite a few solid weapons […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoZane Gonzalez Should Remain On Waivers
Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez shouldn't be started for fantasy this week. The 26-year-old was just claimed by the team on Tuesday after Ryan Santoso was released after Week 1. In 12 games with Arizona last season, Gonzalez went 16-for-22 in field goals and 38-for-39 in extra points. Given that this will be his first […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoPanthers Defense Not A Starting Option Against Saints
The Carolina Panthers defense is not a solid starting option this week as they take on a Saints team that put up 38 points on the Packers last week. Rejuvenated quarterback Jameis Winston played turnover-free ball while tossing five touchdowns in his first game as a Saint. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara racked up 83 rushing yards […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoDan Arnold Should Remain On Bench
Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold is not a starting-caliber fantasy option this week. As the new TE1 of the team, Arnold put up a miserable showing last week, getting two receptions for six yards on three targets. In addition, TE Ian Thomas also outshined him by putting up 17 yards. Both TEs are not […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoTerrace Marshall Jr. Best Left On The Bench
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. is not a fantasy-worthy play in Week 2 against the Saints. The rookie out of LSU made his NFL debut last week and it wasn't all that memorable as he posted three receptions for 26 yards on six targets. The only encouraging thing was his number of targets, […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoRobby Anderson A Flex At Best Against Saints
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson shouldn't be considered anything more than a flex play this week against New Orleans. Though the receiver posted a touchdown last week, it was his only catch of the day as he finished with one catch for 57 yards on three targets. This week, he faces a tough Saints […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoD.J. Moore A WR2 Against New Orleans
Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a WR2 against the Saints this week. Moore managed six receptions for 80 yards on eight targets last week, which ranked second on the team behind Christian McCaffrey. As the WR1 of the team, the 24-year-old should see decent volume each week. Even though the matchup against New […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoChristian McCaffrey A Solid RB1 In Week 2
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is a solid RB1 this week against the Saints. McCaffrey didn't miss a beat in the season opener as he posted 21 carries for 98 rushing yards and nine receptions for 89 yards on nine targets. The Saints stifled the Packers' rush attack last week, but McCaffrey is the […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoSam Darnold Faces Tough Matchup Against Saints
Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is not a strong start this week against the Saints. The former Jet fared well against his old team last week, posting 279 yards and a touchdown. Nevertheless, this week he faces a New Orleans defense that held last year's MVP Aaron Rodgers and his team to a measly three […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoYounghoe Koo A Starting Option Against Tampa
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a starting option this week against the Bucs. The kicker made both of his field-goal attempts last week and he's on an offense that is capable of moving the ball, so there are plenty of chances for him to get opportunities. The Bucs after one week allowed the fourth-most […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoFalcons Defense Is Not A Starting-Caliber Unit
The Atlanta Falcons defense should remain far away from fantasy lineups this week as the team heads to Tampa Bay to play the defending Super Bowl champion Bucs. Last week, this team was lit up by sophomore QB Jalen Hurts to the tune of 264 yards and three touchdowns while also being gashed on the […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoKyle Pitts A TE1 In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is a TE1 option against Tampa this week. Pitts had a decent NFL debut last week, posting four receptions for 31 yards on eight targets. What really stood out was his targets, which were tied for the highest on the team with Calvin Ridley. It's now assumed the rookie […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoRussell Gage Better Left On The Bench
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is not a fantasy-worthy play this week against the Buccaneers. Last week, though the Falcons struggled, the receiver laid a goose egg and couldn't muster even a single yard. Gage is expected to be the WR2 behind Calvin Ridley this season and should be third in line for targets […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoCalvin Ridley A WR1 Against Tampa
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a solid WR1 option against Tampa this week. As expected, Ridley paced the team last week with five receptions for 51 yards on eight targets in Week 1 against the Eagles. With Julio Jones out of town, the youngster now has no competition for the WR1 role and […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoMike Davis Best Left On The Bench In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis is not a strong starting option in Week 2 against Tampa. The new RB1 of the Falcons posted 15 carries for 49 yards in the season opener against Philly last week. While Davis should get the majority of touches each week, that's not saying much considering the Falcons' only […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoMatt Ryan A Low-End QB2 Against Buccaneers
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is only a low-end QB2 option in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Last week against the Eagles, Ryan struggled and only managed 164 yards total without any touchdowns or interceptions. Now without Julio Jones this season, the QB is down to Calvin Ridley and rookie Kyle Pitts as his top […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoAdam Trautman Sees Six Targets
New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman finished with three receptions for 18 yards on a team-leading six targets during Sunday's victory over Green Bay. Unfortunately, Trautman didn't put up big numbers with those targets. The tight end was drawing a lot of attention this preseason as a breakout candidate due to the Saints having […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoJuwan Johnson Records Two Touchdowns
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson finished with three receptions for 21 yards and two touchdowns on three targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay. In his first game as a converted tight end, Johnson didn't manage many yards but did find the end zone twice. With Adam Trautman drawing much hype in the […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway mustered one reception for 14 yards on two targets in Sunday's huge win over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Despite showing great chemistry with Jameis Winston in the preseason and the QB tossing five touchdowns in Sunday's game, Callaway missed out on all the action and put up […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoDeonte Harris Records 72 Yards
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris finished with two receptions for 72 yards and one touchdown on two targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay. Harris did pace the team in yards though he didn't see many targets. The receiver could take on a big role going forward as the team's receiving corps is […]
Rishi Patel 3 years agoTony Jones Jr. Rushes For 50 Yards
New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. finished with 11 rushes for 50 yards and one reception for three yards on one target during Sunday's win over the Packers. The rookie received a decent number of carries in his NFL debut and could see a similar number of carries/production going forward as he is […]
